Abstract: This paper provides a straightforward way to evaluate tunnel settlement caused by land subsidence in the soft deposits of Shanghai. By analyzing field measurements of tunnel settlement and land subsidence, it was found ...

Abstract: A field test for investigating the soil arching effect behind the diaphragm wall was carried out in an average 17-meter-deep, braced excavation in the normally-consolidated clayey ground. Horizontal and vertical ground ...

Abstract: This study presents an application of horizontal spoil discharge jet-grouting (SDJG) columns in soil improvement between the new undercrossing tunnels and the existing tunnels in Changsha, China. To investigate the impact ...

Abstract: Excavations near an existing tunnel are frequently encountered in underground construction. The excavation–soil–tunnel interaction mechanism is not yet fully understood, notably the long-term behavior. This study carried ...

Abstract: The particle shape plays an important role in controlling the behavior of granular material, thus needing to be considered in the formation and evolution of soil arching in the pile-supported embankment. Based on the ...

Abstract: A case history of surcharge-induced large deformations and noticeable leakages occurring on existing underlying twin tunnels in soft ground is presented in this paper. The field conditions are well-documented in terms of ...
